Change Internet Accounts settings on Mac
Use Internet Accounts settings to add your internet accounts from Google, Yahoo and other providers, so you can use those accounts in your Mac apps. The iCloud account you set up in Apple Account settings also appears in Internet Accounts settings.
For each account, you can select the account features you want to use, such as Mail, Contacts, Calendar and more.
Note: Deleting an account or turning off individual features can remove data stored in your apps. The data may be restored if you turn the feature on or add the account again. If you’re not sure, ask the account provider.
To view these settings, choose Apple menu > System Settings, then click Internet Accounts in the sidebar. (You may need to scroll down.)
